PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- The 15th annual National Prep School Invitational (NPSI) this past weekend featured four days and 32 games of action. After the balls had finally stopped bouncing on Sunday, we had seen a number of top performances as well as the emergence of some new prospects.
Here were some of the best players from the event.
Most Valuable Player
Jevon Thomas (Queens, N.Y./St. John’s NW Military Academy)
2013, PG, 6-0, 170
Status: Committed to Kansas State
Thomas was selected MVP by the event staff. His talent has never been in question, but the maturity level to run a team has been far less dependable at times. This weekend, he put it all together, utilizing his individual tools to make plays while also making good decisions down the stretch of close games. With a lightning-quick first step and a strengthened frame to better absorb contact on his way to the rim, he’s virtually impossible to check with just one defender. And while he’s a scoring point by nature, his willingness to hit open teammates was critical to St. John’s big wins over both St. Thomas More (Conn.) and Notre Dame Prep (Mass.).
where is this from? There was a ton of talent at that tournament. Very nice to hear.
